Toddler Talk

My friend Christine often tells me to blog about Miss Mia's newest activities and 'doings'. Now that she is talking, Miss Mia often has me in stitches. So, I guess I'll share:

Our phone has specific ring tones for non friends and family. "Out of Area" calls are ignored.  Miss Mia now believes that ring tone means the phone call is for her.  The other evening, she answered the phone at dinner.
Miss Mia:  "Hello."
Female caller:  "Hello?"
Miss Mia:  "I eat salad."
Female caller:  "Hello?"
Miss Mia:  "Salad.  Yummy!"
Female caller:  " . . . . ."
Busy tone. 
~ Poor Miss Mia didn't get to discuss her salad with her caller.

We went to Lowe's the other night to grab a part we needed for the shower.
Miss Mia: "LOWE's! Mommy! LOWE's! Me go! Me go!"
~ guess she was just a smidge excited about going to that particular store.

Driving home from Lowe's, we went past McDonald's (how can you not???) We don't usually stop there and if we do, we get the stuff on the dollar menu, and usually a coffee for my Dad. I was kinda zoning as I read the sign stating 50 chicken nuggets for $9.99
Miss Mia: "Mommy - Chicken Nuggets!"
Me: "Huh?"
Miss Mia: "Mommy - Chicken Nuggets!"
Me: "Ahhh. Yes, they sell Chicken Nuggets."
Miss Mia: "Yep."
~ This was when I realized 1: she was telling me the name of the place 2: she didn't actually want nuggets and 3: (this tells you what a dork I am) she was NOT reading the sign.

Lastly, this one is why I'm never going in public again . . .
Miss Mia and I were playing in the family room.  She stops what she was doing, looks at me and says in a very firm voice, "Mommy, go pump!"
Mommy:  "Excuse me?"
Miss Mia:  "Go PUMP!"  While pointing to my bedroom.
Mommy:  "Sweetie, I don't need to go pump."
Miss Mia:  "Mommy GO PUMP.  Boobs HEAV-y!" as she came over and squeezed me.
~ Seriously.  Mortified.  Guess I gotta watch my comments when playing Just Dance on Wii!
